It means "eat."

I had a nice steak for dinner last night.
I love having porridge for breakfast.
You must have the roast chicken next time.

Edit: Cross-posted with Clive.

Have is 'to be in possession of' but in this sentence it has an implication that eating will be done or has been done.

No Juan, that is not correct. The ordinary verb "have" has several meanings, and "eat" is just one of them.
